Sam Allardyce is a CUNT

[Curly]

I can't believe people have him behind the owl. He will be effective in getting actual grit and effort from the cunts. I actually reckon he will do ok.

 

He's still a CUNT like.

[Captain]

I too think he'll do better than Hodgson.

 

That said, it be quite hard not to. He will have to fail to get through the qualifiers for that to happen, Hodgson's tournament record is an unmitigated disaster.

[magicrat]

England will get to the quarters atleast under Sam, good appointment and his contract will get extended.

What fucking pleasure can you possibly get typing endless posts in an effort to get a rise from people ? Its utterly pathetic

[Ranxerox]

Prepare for 4 years of endless reading about how England has it's "identity" back.

It's hardly wumming territory to say that Allardyce will get to the quarters, even if it is unlikely.  Most of the teams in Europe are poor at the moment, South American football is dire, and African football is same as it ever was.  So as far as I can see it's between us and Japan.  Not everyone hates Allardyce, and it's not a criminal offence if you don't.  What Allardyce is undeniably good at is organising teams so that each member of the team knows what is expected of them.  That clearly wasn't the case with Hodgson.  

 

Take away all the hyperbole, and it is not a bad appointment for England.  They're not going to win anything, but the best manager in the world isn't going to make that happen.

Seen you say this before, Stringers. Any particular reason why you think it's the case?

I think your missing Fletch and Sav

Just watching it, mostly.  I'm talking about internationals, though - if you want my opinion on their club football I'll need to wait until 3 stacks posts about it and then just repeat it parrot fashion.  

 

Brazil's humiliation in the last world cup was depressing.  

[Adebisi]

As much as I dislike him and have no care for the national team, he might actually pick players on form so good luck to him.

Yeah, their club football is shite, because all their best players are dominating European football. Of the top 30 or 40 or so strikers in the world about 75% of them will be South American.

 

You watch much of either of the last two Copa Americas? I really wouldn't judge all of South America's International teams on the basis of a woefully mismanaged, underperforming, Brazil team. They are, after all, the fourth best team in South America.

I watched the last one.  Chile and Uruguay I like.  But I wouldn't fancy any of them in the world cup.  Though I don't see any other outstanding teams either.  It's a race to the bottom.

[Reckoner]

It was only the management and the players that were shit

[Barrington Womble]

My hatred of the owl has mostly stopped me watching England games the last few years. I'm not arsed anymore about fat Sam. In fact he's desperate for the job, which in this age is nice someone is actually passionate about it. Good luck to him as far as I'm concerned.

England should be getting to the quarters atleast under any good manager, win the group and then beat a weak nation in the last 16.Ive always said I rate Sam so it should come as no surprise that I think he will do well with England.

 

He is excellent tactically and is similar to Rafa and Jose, an ex West Ham player was saying the other day how he leaves no stone unturned and the England players will know everything about the team and players they are facing before the game.

 

I expect England to play more like West Ham than Bolton, they'll play good football but if there's an opportunity to cross or if they need to go long at the end of a game they will.Seeing as the English league is known as the most physical maybe it will be better to play to the players strengths instead of trying to play better teams at their own game.

 

Rafa said when he took over at Newcastle there isn't much difference between competing at the top and bottom of the league, you have to keep the players motivated and every game has to be treated like a final.Sam has done very well in those high pressure games at the end of the season working with poorer players than his rivals, he also won't accept players not giving their all for England.

 

I know I'm fighting a losing battle trying to convince those who don't rate him anyway, even if he wins every game in qualification and gets to the quarters fans will still say he didn't do enough and wasn't the right choice.

[bonesman]

Hope Sammy gets the gig alongside 'desperate dan', Love his energy, even if he did work alongside the hodge/bodge. 

Good luck to you Sammy if you do get it.

[Reckoner]

"Even if England get to...the quarter finals!" Gasp

 

Consider the owls work done.

[manwiththestick]

You see, this is the thing that gets said when most England managers come in but it's the same old. Rooney will still be the focal point of the team.

Haha, I've never watched a minute of any South American League game, stringy, my friend. The leagues are undoubtedly of a poor standard, although there are always future stars of the game to be found in many South American teams.

 

Internationally, the squads boast plenty of talent but most national teams handicap themselves with dreadful managers like Dunga and Martino, which is why a team from the continent hasn't won the World Cup since 2002.

[Josef Svejk]

He is... similar to Rafa and Jose.

 

Except for the fact that he's won fuck all, has no European experience to speak of, and has never been approached by a significant club.

I think he's rubbish and no upgrade on Hodgson

Well Slur likes Allardyce . Seems he got him the job !

Not before Wenger and Howe jibbed them off mind.

Whether they get past Japan or not is irrelevant imo. Allardyce is bargain basement shite and given I think England have some half decent players we are going to witness another bout of under-achievement, I just don't see a bloke with no experience of handling top players will succeed, The cunts wont perform for him in the way a bunch of the journeymen  he's used to handling will get out and do a shift,   

The FA should have given Redknapp a big payout to take it on for a year whist the did a really thorough recruitment exercise, They are trying to fill the vacancy at precisely the time of year when all the decent guys are fixed up for the new season The stupid cunts never saw Hodgson failing so badly that he would have to go

[Anubis]

He's shite, and should allow me to continue to laugh at England. So all is well.

[Bjornebye]

Ale house cunt. Bit like half the England squad. They should have gone with a foreign manager I'm thinking. Del Bosque has quit Spain, he would have taken it I reckon.

 

He needs to fuck off the older players. Rooney isn't good enough to be captain. England have a decent crop of young players. particularly Clyne, Dier, Alli and Kane. Fuck the likes of Milner and Rooney off. Not even sure Vardy should be in the squad. Nor Smalling. And Joe Harts best days are behind him it seems.

[littletedwest]

Met him at alicante airport other week he was sound and happy chat with people.

My cousins are big Bolton fans and love him so despite his shit football and issues with Rafa I like the bloke.

Also I'm not arsed about England either
